For the past 30 years, cars have been "good enough". This idea that one manufacturer is "vastly" better than another is nonsense. All care manufacturers are vastly better today than they were in the 1980's. This is largely due to regulations. When left to their own devices, auto manufacturers put bigger fins on cars to outsell each other; but under the pressure of government regulations we literally get safe, more efficient cars. But to claim EU should import US because they are somehow "better" is laughable from a technology perspective. US auto manufacturers are just adding bells and whistles (keyfobs? use a fucking KEY. giant touchscreens replacing consoles? NOBODY likes or wants them).
